Nicole Ticea, a Grade 9 student at York House School, will compete in the Canada-Wide Science Fair, May 11-18 in Lethbridge, AB. Ticea participated in the Science Fair Foundation’s Alumni Mentorship Program under the guidance of UBC Electrical Engineering’s John Berring and Christoph Sielmann, graduate students of Professor Konrad Walus.
Her project, one of 12 selected from more than 250 in the Greater Vancouver Regional Science Fair, looks at the electricity resulting from the pressure of raindrops on a roof.
“Not only did access to such a lab provide me with the materials necessary to complete such a project,” says Ticea, “but it certainly heartened me to learn that there are such researchers as John and Christoph who are open to giving a high school student the opportunity to work in a lab.” For more information, click here.
